The gritty reboot, with a script for which has been likened to Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight, stars Taron Egerton as Robin Hood, Jamie Foxx as Little John, Eve Hewson as Maid Marian, Ben Mendelsohn as Sheriff of Notingham, and Jamie Dornan as Robin's brother, Will Scarlet.

Last year, Foxx described the film in a way that only raised more questions: "The way they shot it was crazy, it looks like you're watching Zero Dark Thirty. We're shooting with our bows, but they computer-generated it so it's rapid-fire, almost like an AK. I saw that and was like 'Oh, they ain't ready for this.'"
